Chapter 289 Digging pits and filling them automatically
The strategic teleportation circle continued to operate with Feige's support, four more times than usual, and finally sent the cargo piled up on the grounds. Since there is only one teleportation circle at present, there is still a long way to go before the formation of a network, so the delivery of goods is only carried out to each major city, and there will be a very complicated diversion and transportation process after that. You can only send a few departures a day in a fixed direction like a long-distance station, and if you don't catch up, you can only wait for the next cycle.
"In the future, as long as we can get the consent of the local lord, we will definitely try to establish more teleportation circles in various places. Fei Qi said to the merchants, "I promise that the ability to teleport will continue to improve, but please be patient." Magicians who need to be trained to use and maintain magic circles on a daily basis, and the only way to learn magic is still my magic school, which is also a constraint on the number of teleportation circles. You can continue to pay attention to the magic school, as long as there are people who manipulate the magic array, I will again recruit collaborators to build the magic array. ”
Hearing this, the merchants burst into warm applause, after all, who doesn't want to make money? Fei Qi motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The number of teleportation circles will not be too much, only places with special vision to support magic can have a good enough business environment, and they also need to be supported by a large enough transportation demand in the local area, there are very few such places at present." The good news is that Tawu Port City will set up a teleportation array to serve the United Kingdom of Hoya, and of course, it will also carry the transportation needs of merchants, so you can pay more attention to it. ”
Clever merchants can hear the implicit meaning of Feiqi's words, and in the near future they will gradually reduce or even stop the transfer of goods to Minas Ishir, and instead ship them to the port city of Tawu. Feige also spoke of the idea of building a workshop cluster, which made them even more sure that the teleportation circle in front of them would likely cease to function. Minas Ihir has changed the lords, the elves are getting stronger and stronger, and the human merchants are already a little worried, but the current result is actually what they expected.
With that, Feige returned to the circle and activated it again, this time without loading any cargo onto the platform. "What is this for?" said the merchants who had not yet left. They saw Feige personally adjust the coordinates of the teleportation, and then told everyone to leave the range of the teleportation platform and retreat to a safe distance.
This time the buzz of the teleportation was louder than ever, and everyone felt that the wind was coming from behind, constantly blowing towards the center of the platform. A small ball of light appeared in the center of the teleportation array, expanding in size for a split second. Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the view had been occupied by a rocky mountain that suddenly appeared.
The dust was thick and everyone tasted the earth in their mouths. "What is this doing?" some of the businessmen had not yet figured out, others were already immersed in excitement and excitement. The teleportation circle can transport away or bring in goods, but that is simply a wooden container after the demarcation range is achieved. The rocks in front of me were very flat and smooth, and they were clearly cut down, indicating that the teleportation circle had the ability to "force" them directly from their original positions. If they guess correctly, the teleportation circle can also be used as a mining tool!
Feige used his magic to blow away the dust, then used his earth tentacles to loosen the rocks, and then used the gas ropes to pull in all directions. With a constant rumbling sound, the huge rock fell apart. He flew over, his eyes searching the rocks.
Momm and Silkina traveled to various places to identify the minerals, leaving behind several "unfounded" locations, and Feige had reason to believe that there were probably crystal clusters among them.
Dismantling the pile of rocks in front of him, he found a black layer of stone at the very bottom! Fitch was overjoyed, pushed away the surrounding rocks with brute force, and then went down to the bottom and took out the black stones with both hands. The crystal clusters are covered with a layer of black stone, which has the effect of isolating some spells. Seeing it, it is basically certain that there is a crystal cluster at this location.
There is no crystal in this pile of rocks, it should be in a more downward position. Fine-tuning the coordinates did allow for further digging down, but considering that the crystal clusters might enhance the spell's effect a little, Feige decided to go with a more secure approach.
"Activate the circle, use this coordinate. Feige uses illusion to spell out a series of characters, allowing the students to manipulate the teleportation circle. It was a high-altitude coordinate that Feige had found on the ocean when he returned from Pirate Island, and it was used to drop useless rocks. As the teleportation array operated, it was unknown how many fish in the sea were hit by this rain of rocks.
After that, Feige activated the teleportation circle again to his previous location, digging out only a small pile of rocks. This shows that the underground cavity caused by the first teleportation excavation did not collapse, forming a relatively stable space. Since the teleportation circle is a platform, it should also be a hemispherical shape over there, flat below, and vaulted above. Only knowing this, Feige dared to use a spell to teleport himself over.
There is nothing more dangerous in teleportation than getting into a solid state. There are many voids inside the human body that are used to provide space for the movement of internal organs, and no one wants to fill these voids with rocks, soil, or even seawater. You must give yourself adequate protection during the teleportation process, and the spell is designed with this in mind, commonly known as "teleportation protection". This is a layer of protection that is applied to the surface of the skin to squeeze out harmful substances at the delivery site and prevent them from entering the fragile body. It's just that it's easy to squeeze out the gas, but it's much more difficult to squeeze out the liquid, and the density of the solid is too great, so it's better to transfer it in a safe location than to think about how to squeeze it out.
Feige had deliberately teleported many objects into other solids, and found that even steel could be destroyed by embedding in other solids, losing its dense and strong properties and becoming a relatively loose and fragile mixture. So he didn't dare to experiment with himself anymore, even if he had the polymorphic form of the demon desire, he didn't send him to death like this.
Unprotected teleportation refers to the removal of the outer protective spell and the direct teleportation, which can greatly reduce the complexity of interdimensional teleportation spells, making rapid teleportation a reality for a single player. However, this can only be attempted if the body is tough enough, and it must never be transmitted to liquid and solid environments. Feiqi's demonic state could withstand unprotected interdimensional teleportation, but he didn't dare try it on Kazmuk. The Fire Dwarf's body is also considered strong, but Feichi would rather pay for the Styx Shipping to send him to the Continent of Yongli.
After taking a deep breath, Feige defended himself with the strongest spell and teleported towards the mine. In just an instant, he was in an extremely dark environment. It was quiet, except for the sound of some loose sand slipping. Murky air filled his nostrils, which had been replaced by Minas Ishil during the teleportation, and was limited in number, and Fitch would gradually suffocate after it was used up.
Although Fitch is able to see his surroundings in black and white with the help of Desire's dark vision, he is unable to identify the special black rocks. So he cast a light dance around him, letting the colors into the underground cavern and into his eyes. After a while, he found the black rock on the ground, and the neat spatial cutting marks were clearly visible. The black rock is wrapped in crystal clusters, just like the outer shell of the jade, and you don't know what's inside until you actually cut it. At this time, it's time for the Pit Excalibur to appear!
The sharp blade of the sword sliced through the stone, revealing the cavity beneath it, like a deep well. Feige threw a spell ball of light down, and immediately saw the brilliant starlight reflected off the black stone. The dazzling stars are constantly changing like a kaleidoscope, and in the center is a small sapling with crystal clusters.
According to Liz, crystal clusters can grow slowly. During their time in the underground caverns, the Yamu had an important task: praying to the crystal clusters. The ritual is performed in the form of chanting hymns, and every day, crystal clusters grow. They would sing and pray for fresh air, clean water, and enough food to survive, and then they had it.
According to Feiqi's theory, the crystal crystal cluster is a kind of soul crystal. The ritual of common prayer resonates with the soul, and the need for "air, water, and food" induces the soul's world-changing power, which is magnified by crystals like a spell. After that, the remaining soul power is absorbed by the crystal, causing it to increase in size, which is easy to understand.
Whether or not crystals grow in a completely enclosed state is not known to Feiqi. But even if it could grow, Feige wouldn't have time to wait. He slipped through the hole, put on his armor's iron gloves, and carefully pulled the crystal off.
The crystal is just over a meter long, has a thick trunk and eight branches, and looks like a small sapling if glued to the leaves. Even through the Iron Glove, Feige could feel the strong ripples coming from the crystal. "How can you respond to my magic like a cat teaser?" he felt an urge to use the crystal to cast a spell to test the effect. But the inner vigilance sounded the alarm: this is definitely not a good place to experiment.
Open the space bag and throw the crystal in, and the urge is gone. "No, the crystal doesn't have a subjective will, it just amplifies my thoughts, especially the impulses that come from the depths of my soul. Feige pondered the phenomenon as he continued to wander through the cavern to see if there was a second black crystal shell. "I'm used to using magic to cast the power of my soul, and I can't help but affect the crystal. According to the theory that the crystal is an uninclined soul, it is like an extension of my soul, and it is denser and more energetic, so the habit of using magic is stronger, and the effect of the spell is increased. ”
"What if you actually use it to enhance a spell?" "What if you use it to make a staff...... "It must theoretically enhance the effect of the spell and make it easier to cast spells. "The staff is too big, and a small object like a wand or spellcasting ring should be better. If you use it for a long time, you may be able to use your own soul to strengthen the crystals inside like the prayer ritual of the Yamu clan, so as to balance the consumption. ”
Feige thought it was a good idea, but how to do it depended on his research on crystals. He had met the crystal cluster twice before, but he didn't take it and look at it, but gave it directly to the Goddess of Truth Thunder. Now that the goddess is gone, he can use it himself.
"Part of it is to study the relationship between divinity and crystals, and strive to strengthen the divinity so that I can use it in the new form of the demon. Feige began to ponder his research plan: "Part of it is going to be used to analyze the composition of the crystal and see if there is any way to locate it directly. The modified version of the Great Prophecy of God Perspective can indeed find crystals, but I still haven't figured out the hidden truth yet, so this is an opportunity. Another part is used to try to make wands or spellcasting rings, which can be used by school students and future Knights of Hell if it is safe and stable. The cat teasing stick is an artifact made from the essentia of the Kingdom of God, and it is impossible for everyone to have a copy, and the crystal may be the alternative. But it's better to let them work harder and directly improve their spell abilities, which is fundamental. ”
"As for the protection money left for the Shimmering Goddess...... Fei Qi thought for a moment, and felt that he couldn't hand it over now. "First, we can't let the goddess shards think that they can easily get the crystal crystal clusters, and second, no one can guarantee that the goddess shards will definitely not see money, so it's better to hand them over later. As for whether Flare can use the power of prophecy to know that I have the Fragments...... Well, don't worry about it, you can't ask her face-to-face, right?"
Once the distribution of the crystals was decided, Feige also went around the cavern, but could not find a second black rock shell. Could there be two or more crystal clusters in the same location? It may be possible, but Feige has no way of knowing right now, and he will have to wait until he studies the crystals and finds a better way to search for them.
"Instead of constantly fine-tuning the coordinates to excavate, let's move on to the next location and leave it there for now. Feige looked around the cave again and suddenly smiled: "It's very convenient to dig underground bunkers in practice. All that had to be done was to find that solid rock area, dig a hole, and then make a passage outward, and bring in materials to reinforce it. ”
Before Feige could finish his dream, he noticed a dampness on the ground. Looking along the water marks, it turned out that the rock formation was beginning to seep water. The sudden appearance of a cavity in the ground will inevitably cause a change in pressure, and if there is no gas, then the liquid will react first and even cause a change in the rock formation. "Underground things are not as simple as you think, and you can't decide on this aspect, you still have to consult professionals. It would be nice to be able to contact the dwarves, they can build a home in the underground and in the mountains, and there must be a lot of knowledge and ability in this area. ”
The water gradually increases, and soon accumulates from a small damp patch to a small puddle. If this continues, it may be filled up and turned into a dangerous underground lake. Failure to drain the water before teleporting would be fatal - an outcome that would have been more beneficial to Feige. Large-scale teleportation can only be done with the help of a strategic teleportation circle, which is only in the hands of Feiqi. He watched the changes around him with satisfaction, patted the space bag where the crystal crystal clusters were hidden, and opened the teleportation to leave the underground cavern.
First the black stone shell, then the whole cave. Except for the air bubbles at the top, which cannot be drained out, this place is completely occupied by underground seepage.
